Just keep in mind that the shluchim are busy running a community.

Yes, tourism is big, but there actually are a number of Jewish locals as well...

Interesting. Would not have guessed. The whole island is pretty small to begin with.

Planning a trip this month and have a few questions:

1) Where is the best place to rent a car online? Trying to do it through Chase UR portal and only seeing one expensive option.
2) Any tips for driving on the other side of the road? Never done that and I'm a bit nervous.
3) What's the deal with bringing food (meat/chicken, rice, frozen veggies, etc.) Will that be an issue?
4) Any updated grocery/kosher info would be appreciated!

In all these islands you'll have Jewish locals, business people, retirees etc

I brought my own meat and chicken, just go to local supermarket for veggies

Planning a trip this month and have a few questions:


2) When renting they will give you a choice which side you want the steering wheel. For me i find having the steering wheel on the right (opposite of USA) to be a reminder which side to drive on. Others find that having the side that they are used to to be easier.

Obviously take it slow (especially by turns). Constantly repeat in your head which side to drive on.

3) We went during covid and did not have any issues bringing in food (but that's only my personal experience)

Rental cars there are super expensive. We just took taxis.

3) What's the deal with bringing food (meat/chicken, rice, frozen veggies, etc.) Will that be an issue?

No. Officially if its raw, it needs to be in its original packaging.

4) Any updated grocery/kosher info would be appreciated!

Just updated the wiki recently. Graceway Gourmet.

Not so sure about the jewish locals thing. Aside for Grace Bay, Provo is very much a third world country. Got a glimpse of it in the short ride from the airport my hotel. Although I may be ignorant.
